David Burgess Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Dean, a li'l help from peroxide. Customers like it, because it makes me look more extinguished. I'm headed for the Einstein hair look. Feelin' smarter already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oded Kishony Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I finish cello necks pretty much the same way though I round off the 'handle' part leaving it thick. I use a chisel but I also find this drawknife to be very useful for finishing cello necks. Oded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feelin' smarter already. Wow, I only look extinguished after I've been fired. Must try the peroxide! Well, You're getting the Einstein look relatively fast.

David Burgess Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well, You're getting the Einstein look relatively fast. I may have frightened an elderly woman in a hotel gym in southern Ohio early this morning with my "white-'fro" (much wilder than in the photo). But I bet she would have been more frightened by Roger getting on the treadmill in his bunny suit. It's all good. One kinda neat thing about our profession, is that we don't need to configure ourselves as being "normal", along the lines of some office cubicle professional who is kissin' up for a raise.

Roger Hargrave Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes David, I can see why you need to go to the fitness studio to do those cello necks. Actually I don't wear my rabbit suit at the studio. That’s more for around the house and when serious violin students come to visit. On the treadmill I wear mint green Lycra and I must say that I look fabulous. I don’t even need to remove it for the sauna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Burgess Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yes David, I can see why you need to go to the fitness studio to do those cello necks. I don't do cello necks at the fitness studio any more because they complained about the mess, and the wood dust made for treacherous footing on the treadmill. Some guy in lime-green Lycra capri pants complained. He did look fabulous though. A couple of more photos, blending the rasped portion with the part cut with the chisel, still at a very rough stage: By the way, Michael Jackson got his single glove idea from me.

David Burgess Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Madonna...? (or so I've heard) I'd been thinkin' that "missile-tits" reached their height of popularity during the moon race era, as did fins on cars during the early jet era. But I could be wrong about that. Don't get around as much as I used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
